The OSHA 10 Maritime card is earned by entry-level shipyard, marine terminal, and longshoring workers through a 10-hour classroom course taught by an OSHA-authorized trainer (OSHA #5400 graduates) over at least two days, since instruction is capped at 7.5 hours per day. Three 1-hour topics are required for every sector - Introduction to OSHA, walking/working surfaces, and PPE - and the shipyard version adds four more required hours: fall protection/scaffolding, electrical, confined and enclosed spaces, and fire protection. Marine terminal and longshoring classes instead choose at least two electives (HazCom, lockout/tagout, respiratory protection, and more) for four hours. There is no standardized final exam; trainers administer their own quizzes, and completion earns a DOL card with no federal expiration. Expect questions in class on 1915.12 atmosphere limits (19.5-22% oxygen, under 10% LEL), Marine Chemist 'Safe for Hot Work' certificates, fire watches with 30-minute post-work coverage, USCG-approved PFDs, and tags-plus energy control under 1915.89. No OSHA-authorized online maritime course exists - classroom only.
